How to check the balance of the accounts in a specific dates

Question

Hi all
I am using GL, AP and CE. My customer wants some reports or functionality in the system to check the balances of specific accounts in specific dates.
So the user has to enter the beginning and the ending date for example:
Beginning date: 13-JAN-2010
Ending date: 21-FEB-2010
Select some range of the accounts
And he wants back this information: account number, account description, the beggining balance (the balance of each account chosen in 13-JAN-2010), ending balance(the balance of each account chosen in 21-FEB-2010)
Please tell me where to find this information. Is there any standard report in the system.
I checked Trial Balances reports, but they all do not give you the possibility to choose some range of accounts and they do not give you the possibility to choose specific dates.
Almost the same comments for Account Analysis reports: they do not show balances, but movement for accounts.
Almost the same comments for General Ledger reports: they do not allow you to choose specific dates.
Please tell me how can i find this, because my customer is complaining that the old system did this and he really wants this information even in the new system which is Oracle Financial.
Thank you and best regards

Hello Ernest.
You will need to know the FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID corresponding to your accounts 1110001 and 1110004. Also check if these values belong to segment2 of the Chart of Accounts. If not, you will need to change it in the query.
For the Beggining balance:
SELECT cc.segment2 "Account",
f.description "Description",
nvl(sum(l1.accounted_dr),0) - nvl(sum(l1.accounted_cr),0) "Beg Balance"
FROM gl_code_combinations cc,
fnd_flex_values_vl f,
gl_je_lines l1
WHERE cc.code_combination_id = l1.code_combination_id
AND cc.segment2 between '1110001' and '1110004'
AND cc.segment2 = f.flex_value
AND l1.effective_date <= '13-jan-10'
AND f.flex_value_set_id = <value you will need to find>
AND l1.set_of_books_id = <your set of books id>
GROUP BY cc.segment2, f.description
For the ending balance:
SELECT cc.segment2 "Account",
f.description "Description",
nvl(sum(l1.accounted_dr),0) - nvl(sum(l1.accounted_cr),0) "End Balance"
FROM gl_code_combinations cc,
fnd_flex_values_vl f,
gl_je_lines l1
WHERE cc.code_combination_id = l1.code_combination_id
AND cc.segment2 between '1110001' and '1110004'
AND cc.segment2 = f.flex_value
AND l1.effective_date <= '21-feb-10'
AND f.flex_value_set_id = <value you will need to find>
AND l1.set_of_books_id = <your set of books id>
GROUP BY cc.segment2, f.description
Let me know if it worked.
